Ahh...and this concludes my first armchair arcade entry after having experienced a smooth install of Windows 7. The long road of pulling files off the other partitions and removing the old OS (Windows 7 RC1) begins...but not tonight.
Hijack away. As my latest blog post indicated, I certainly don't mind when conversations organically morph into something else. It's a very human thing, so why fight it?
To continue the hijacking, the upgrade of my new HP TouchSmart (arrived Tuesday) to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit from Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit seems to have gone perfectly (I followed the instructions for replacing and updating certain files to the letter), so tonight I can finally begin putting my apps on and setting up Firefox with all my extension and add-ons. After three days I'm finally close to having a proper system again. We'll see what crap MS gives me though about activating my versions of Office. The serial numbers usually get fussy after a few installs and you need to call an Indian support rep to get it put through.
Next up is to get my wife's computer on a clean Windows 7 install. The upgrades from Amazon arrived yesterday. I may end up selling the third one, though I'm still hopeful of getting my laptop fixed. I also may qualify for a free Windows 7 upgrade from HP, so I may take them up on that and end up selling that one. Who knows?
